GUTAPERCHA

Sala Juan Egenau: Universidad de Chile, Santiago Chile - 2013


The exhibition Gutapercha is the result of collecting nationally impactful news stories, such as the hunger strike of Mapuche prisoners prosecuted under anti-terrorism law, pharmacy strikes, robberies, and the rescue of the thirty-three miners. These stories are combined with nonsensical images recovered from other contexts through visual assemblage techniques, producing new meanings through collision and juxtaposition.

The exhibition consists of five large-scale fabric works created using monotype, woodcut, and frottage.

    Dimensions:
    3 fabric pieces 3,30 x 2,30 m. 1 fabric pieces 3,00 x 2,40 m.
